Norgen’s Cell Culture Media Exosome Purification and RNA Isolation Kits constitute an all-in-one system for the purification of exosomes and the subsequent isolation of exosomal RNA from different cell culture media sample volumes. The purification is based on spin column chromatography that employs Norgen’s proprietary resin. The kit is designed to isolate all sizes of RNA, including microRNA, irrespective of size or GC content, without bias. These kits provide a clear advantage over other available kits in that they do not require any special instrumentation, protein precipitation reagents, extension tubes, phenol/chloroform or protease treatments. Moreover, the kits allow the user to elute into a flexible elution volume ranging from 50 µL to 100 µL. The RNA isolated from the purified exosomes is free from any protein-bound circulating RNA and is of the highest integrity. The purified RNA can be used in a number of downstream applications including real time PCR, reverse transcription PCR, Northern blotting, RNase protection and primer extension, and expression array assays.

PlexTaq 5x qPCR Multiplex Master Mix contains all components necessary for rapid, sensitive and reproducible quantification of DNA and cDNA. An engineered DNA polymerase and an optimized buffer including ultrapure dNTPs are key components of the ready to use mix. A hot-start formulation of the included DNA polymerase prevents aptamer prevents false amplification and provides a fast start function.
PlexTaq®´s formulation allows to use it also for direct PCRs from crude samples.
All in One. All the flexibility you need in a 5x Master Mix for multiplexing applications. NOW LYO READY!
+ Sensitive. More free volume. 5x concentration allows more volume for target specific primers and probes (multiplexing).
+ Robust. Uniform amplification. Up to 30 target multiplexing in real-time (customer feedback).
+ Fast TTR. No extraction needed. Reliable results with crude samples without extraction step, like blood.
+ Specific. No false amplification. Engineered Taq DNA polymerase more stable at room temperature. Aptamer-based hot-start prevents false amplification and provides a fast-start function.
Norgen’s Plasma/Serum Circulating DNA Purification Kits (Slurry Format) provide efficient methods for the purification of fragmented free-circulating DNA from human plasma or serum. The kit is able to isolate all sizes of circulating DNA. The slurry format provides an advantage over other available kits in that it does not require extension tubes for the purification of free-circulating DNA from large sample volumes. DNA can be isolated from either fresh or frozen samples using this kit. The kit will also isolate viral and bacterial DNA from plasma/serum. Typical yields of purified free-circulating DNA will vary depending on the input sample (1-100ng/mL circulating DNA in human plasma), with more concentrated samples tending to yield more free-circulating nucleic acids. The purified, inhibitor-free plasma/serum free-circulating DNA is eluted in an elution solution that is compatible with PCR, qPCR, methylation-sensitive PCR and Southern Blot analysis.
